  ID verification is necessary on Coinbase for buying and selling digital currencies due to regulatory compliance requirements. As a regulated cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase is obligated to follow Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. By verifying the user's ID, Coinbase ensures that they are not facilitating any illegal activities and helps in preventing fraud and money laundering.
